Solaris 2.5.1 Supported with 2.3 NI PCI GPIB driver

I looked all over the NI site for what versions of solaris are supported with what driver version numbers.
Is 2.5.1 AKA 5.1 supported with NI driver versions 2.2 and 2.3?

Hi,
The NI-488.2 for Solaris, v2.2 requires Solaris 2.5.1 or above, and the NI-488.2 for Solaris, v2.3 requires Solaris 2.6 and above. You will see these messages when you start up the installers. You are right that this information should be more clearly available at the website, at the download pages and perhaps in KnowledgeBase, too.

Problems with Tru64 UNIX 5.1b PCI-GPIB driver development

I am using your NI488.DDK product to develop a PCI-GPIB device driver for Tru64 UNIX 5.1b3. I have experience porting other device driver from 4.x to 5.1b and thought that this would not be too hard. The driver that I have developed loads and configures ok. It allows for the IBFIND of /dev/gpib0 minor #255 to work fine because a bus table is built for it during the probe/attach. When I try an IBFIND on /dev/gpib_dev/dev1 I get an error from ni_Cp2BusPtr for minor #51 because no table is created for the devx devices during driver initialization. I don't see where this was done in the example ib.c code provided for Tru64 Unix 4.x, am I missing something?

This is really an update to my original posting for those of you who may have similar concerns.
The source code provided as part of the NI488DDK kit is not really a fully functional driver with the same capabilities as they provided in the device driver that they devloped for Tru64 UNIX 3.x and 4.x. The the "ib" commands supported by the DDK driver is a subset of the entire ni488 suite. None of the device specific "ib" command are supported, neither is ibask. Device commands are written to the bus as character strings that contain device addresses and command.

Problems with Ethernet controller and PCI device driver on Satellite L30-10X

Hellow!
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia.
Just few days ago I bought Satellite L30-10X with W Vista on board. My opinion, that this OS does't very good on this computer, so I install W XP.
I have some problems with drivers. At first, I dont know what model I have:PSL30 or PSL33? I download all drivers for both models. But, after installation, computer doen't find drivers for Ethernet controller and PCI device...

Hi
Satellite L30-10X belongs to the PSL33E series. This number can be found on the label placed on the bottom of the unit!
You have to choose this number from the driver download form to get the compatible XP drivers.
I dont know why you are not able to install the LAN driver. Ive got the same notebook with Vista and Ive installed the XP and all drivers run fine.
I assume you have installed the drivers in wrong order. Please take the look in the Toshiba installation instruction txt file. In this order you have to install the driver! Its important.
I think you should install the XP again to ensure the clean registry and then download and install the compatible XP drivers like mentioned in the installation instruction file.
Good luck

Solaris driver for PCI-GPIB and GPIB/ENET

We have written a Java wrapper to communicate with the Solaris PCI-GPIB driver. Now we need to support the GPIB/ENET device. According to ibconf we are running the following driver (NI-488.2 Sol2 2.2). Is there a driver to support both? Our current wrapper supports the following commands: ibConfig, ibFind, SendIFC, Send & Receive.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hey Paul,
Unfortunately, we do not offer a driver that will support the PCI-GPIB and the ENET at the same time. In order to use the ENET you will need to use NI-488.2 Version 1.4 (http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/67f3a445bc3b87c3862569f2005855d9?opendocument).
We recommend you do not install both of these drivers at the same time, because each driver was designed to run independently and some of the files would be overwritten.
However, the functions will be the same for both drivers, so the code you�re developing should be interchangeable. There are a few additional functions the ENET supports, but they are just used to get information about the ENET and do not need to be in your application. The only difference is that you will need to link t
he code to a different library when it is compiled. This information is located inside of the getting started guide.

I hope this helps out.

GPIB Enet/100 with PCI-GPIB

Is the a timeframe with the release of a GPIB Driver
capable of supporting both the Enet device and an installed GPIB-PCI card within the same computer?

The next version of the 488.2 driver will support the ENET and PCI GPIB cards together for Win 2000/NT/XP. We canot give a release date at this time but it will be on the web when we do.

HP 3478A DMM not seen with PCI/GPIB 488.2

Hi All,
I'm really new at this so watch out... I have an old 3478A which is compliant with the old HP-IB (GPIB) connector and I'm trying to communicate with it using a PCI/GPIB 488.2 card. I found some drivers for Labview and that's wonderful but it simply doesn't work. The automation explorer also doesn't see the device. What am I doing wrong? I read somewhere that you have to enable some old drivers but I the message was somewhat unclear now I'm just desperate. Please help someone.
OS : win XP
Labview: 7.1
thanks

It is possible the cable is faulty. The cables I am using are National Instruments 763061-02 RevC; Type-X2. These cables work on all of the instruments I am using. Check the configuration of your GPIB Card, I have provided screen captures of my current settings that are working for me.
1. As before use the Measurement and Automation Explorer to get to the GPIB Bus under devices.
2.Right click on the GPIB Bus and select properties, you should see the following screen.
3. Click the Configure and on the next screen click Software>> button to see all of the options.
Try these settings(I have not made any changes these should be Default).

HTTP Server is not currently supported with Solaris 10

I am having a problem to start the HTTP Server on Solaris 10 (I am installing HTTP Server as part of HTMLDB installation on Solaris 10).
I had a problem to install it at first, however I've found on 'AskTom' that unsetting ORA_NLS33 helps and it did. Now I can't start the HTTP server and I've found on metalink that 'HTTP Server is not currently supported with Solaris 10, this is targeted for Q2CY05'.
Has this been fixed yet?
Thank you for your time.

Level of ACPI support with Solaris 10?

What is the current level of ACPI support with Solaris 10 x86? I have been searching forums and Sun documentation and I have not found an official answer to this question from Sun. I have seen posts in which people state what they "think" they know or they know how something worked with "their" system but nothing official from Sun. I assume there is some support for ACPI because the eeprom command can be used with the acpi-user-options. Can I just enable ACPI support on my motherboard and let Solaris 10 Update 3 do the rest? Thanks for the help?

I found this site that seams to answer this question.

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Solaris 10 real-time support on a uniprocessor system

Hello,
I've read older documentation stating that Solaris has real-time support on a dual processor system. One of the CPUs is dedicated to the real time tasks. I was wondering
if this is an absolute requirement. Could one use Solaris 10 as a real-time OS on a uni-processor system?
Thanks for your help.
Stephen

Stephen,
Solaris is capable of running processes in real-time mode on either a uni- or multiprocessor machine. real-time mode is implemented at the scheduler level, with RT class processes layered on top of TS/IA and SYS processes. This is mostly implemented through priority levels (0-59 for TS/IA, 60-99 for SYS, 100-159 for RT [if used]). For details regarding this, pls. see priocntl(1).
Be aware of a couple of gotchas, though:
- RT processes will stay at their priority level, no matter what.
- They will not be subject to time-sliced scheduling (in fact, they won't be scheduled in normal ways, since the scheduler itself runs at SYS priority level!)
- They'll not stop running until they either voluntarily give up the CPU by means of something like swtch(), or block on a resource, or any process with an even higher priority becomes runnable.
In short, they might render your system more or less inoperable, if used without caution.
Consider it a BAD idea to put your shell into RT mode - and definitely do NOT try to run largely computational tasks (PI to the nth position, as an example) in RT mode, just to get some more performance out of your box! It won't work as you expect it.
RT is meant to run fairly short routines that require (almost ) deterministic response - such as acting on a signal from a sensor on an assembly line. It's definitely not a way to obtain better response times or outperform your peers.
Solaris, as any UNIX, is not an outright RT system - it just has some stuff built into it that could help in running it as if it were one.
Consider well what you're about to do, then reconsider ... ;) Don't say you haven't been warned.
HIH, kind regards,
- Tom

Error message charging is not supported with this accessory

I have an iPhone 3GS from Jul 2009. Fully updated. I normally charge it using a USB port on my MacBook Pro so it also syncs at the same time. This week began getting an alert on my phone which said "charging is not supported with this accessory". I resolved initially by unplugging/replugging the cord. In all cases the phone had been charging for some time before the alert appeared. In most cases the phone was sitting on the same surface as the macbook and had not been moved since beginning charge.
The only support document I can find refers to firewire and does not apply to my device.
Since starting this week it is happening more frequently and may require being re-connected several times.
It is still intermittent issue but I depend on my phone.
Thank you for your assistance

I just found some on eBay for about 1.99 each with free shipping and ordered about 6 of them from the seller, I think they came from China so it takes a couple weeks. So far I never got a bad cable, but if you do use eBay please check their feedback to make sure they have a history of delivering quality cables and working cables. Always pay using PayPal if possible so you don't lose your money. There are online sites like Meritline and such that have cheaper cables for direct sales with PayPal checkout and free shipping.
I use the 6' cable in the car, so I don't have figure where to put the iPhone or iPod when plugged into the stereo and it is helpful to have them when trying to charge when the plug is being a dresser or something when I travel.
I also like the retractable cables ($0.99)
I also have the Scosche FlipSYNC Keychain cable too, a bit expensive, but you always have a cable with you just in case.

My ipod touch 3rd gen doesnt work on usb charger but on dock it says "Charging is not supported with this device" How do I fix it?

I'm taking it in to get it looked at but will they cover this? And is there a way to fix it before I take it in. I'm still under the 1 year warranty plan. My friend said that they might exchange it. It's a 64GB and I use it for a lot of things like my picture, music, contacts, and email. It's got scratches on the back but other wise its ok the screen isn't cracked or scratched.
I have a usb charger for it but when I plug it into the PC or my wall charger it won't charge. It just says "Charging is not supported with this device". It even says that sometimes when it's not charging. But it works on a dock station like my clock or radio.
Also my home buttom won't work unless I press down real hard. This scares me because I'm afraid I wil persss it too hard and break it even more.
Please help.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why when I try to sign in to Find my Friends does it tell me I cannot as my iPhone is not supported with free iCloud service? I do not use find my friends on another device.

So, have you created an iCloud account and is your device connected to iCloud?

What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

What does this message mean Charging is not supported with this device?

You've gotten 2 good answers already, but there's a key assumption in both that you got the message when connecting the iPhone to some other device. If this is the case you can get an adapter in the Apple online store that will allow charging from older devices.
If, however, this message appears when you are not connected to anything the problem is dirt or moisture in the dock connector at the bottom of the phone. Clean it with a dry toothbrush or air blast.
